Since 2018, we have partnered with Read Aloud West Virginia to help them expand and develop their Volunteer Reader program in the coalfields of southern West Virginia. Currently, our Executive Director and Financial Administrator serve on the Board of the Raleigh County chapter. This partnership began as we tried to brainstorm how we could scale our own reading initiative to include more of our service area, and we discovered that there was already an organization doing this. We decided to work with them to accomplish our shared goal of improving literacy rates in children and building a better workforce for tomorrow!
If you would like to be involved in Read Aloud West Virginia in any of our seven counties, please contact our Executive Director, Trena Dacal, at tdacal@unitedwayswv.org or by calling our office.
